Roses In The Garden - a book review
Roses In The Garden by Ngoc Minh Ngo Photographer Ngoc Minh Ngo celebrates rose gardens throughout the world in this beautifully produced book. The author photographed a total of 11 gardens across the globe (Italy, Morocco, Spain, USA, UK, and Japan). Beginning with the Italian garden Ninfa (often referred to as the most romantic garden in the world), her photographs have a dreamy quality that transports the reader to these exotic locales. Closer to home, Floret Farm in Mount Vernon, Washington, is included in one of the chapters. All types of roses are included in the gardens but the majority feature old rose varieties.

ReplyDeleteWhat you saw is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your trip.
Looks formal to me. Great pics. Mary
ReplyDeleteRosemary has to be brought in here to survive. It looks great in that urn with dicondra. I love the Cardinal plant and have never been able to establish it here. It is so striking where ever it is planted. Thanks for the tour.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to find a place for the Kousa dogwood now. Love the berries on it. We need rain here. I had to water the weeds so I could pull them yesterday. Mary
ReplyDeleteLove the use of woodies in containers, and the pond is just gorgeous! Also, that Kousa dogwood is stunning!
ReplyDeleteThose gardens *are* beautiful. I will have to try dicondra in a container. It has such a wonderful draping effect.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I really like the rosemary/dicondra combination. And the kousa dogwood! I can't believe I missed this garden those years my son was at college in Memphis. We usually ended up on Beale Street.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this beautiful garden. I hope to see it one day for myself after seeing your pictures.
ReplyDeleteI have an unrelated question, do you grow Angel's Trumpet, Datura?
If so, can you give me some tips on growing it?
Thanks.
Bloominganne, I do grow Angel's Trumpet and they are blooming now. I'll try and do a post on them later in the week.
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful. Love the glasshouse and the Thalia dealbata growing in the second pool.
ReplyDeleteThe light looks bright. I like this time of year, the light starts to be less harsh.
Love the containers with the weeping dichondra. I say wow to all those Kousa berries too! Thanks for posting...I needed a garden tour.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a lovely garden, and I have never seen Dichondra used so well, or growing so well.
ReplyDeleteThat dogwood is spectacular! Any idea what variety it is?
ReplyDeleteWe are so lucky to have public gardens like this all over the country.
